FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features DryFlight technology designed for water resistance, meaning it handles light rain well, but it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I wear this in the snow?
While it offers some insulation, it is rated for daily outdoor activities rather than deep winter, sub-zero conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Follow the garment's internal care label; usually, a gentle cycle in cool water and air drying is recommended.
Does it have an internal pocket?
This model features two external zippered hand pockets for convenient storage.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a fixed design with an integrated drawcord for adjustment.
What does WarmFlight 2/3 mean?
It indicates a balance of warmth and breathability, making it suitable for moderate cold, but less insulating than the highest-rated 3/3 thermal gear.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
The protective coating may need a refresh. Use a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment following the product's application instructions.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, gently clean the track with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite.
Wrinkles in the nylon fabric
Hang the jacket in a humid environment, such as a bathroom during a shower, to allow the steam to naturally relax the fibers. Avoid using a high-heat iron.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Quiksilver Scaly Hooded Zip Jacket in peak condition, always check the interior wash tag for specific care instructions. As the jacket is constructed from nylon, it is generally recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-resistant coating of the DryFlight technology. For drying, air drying is the best way to maintain the integrity of the insulation and the outer fabric. Store the jacket on a hanger in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the hood and cuffs.
